About Me

Hi my name is Francisca and I am a self employed childminder registered with the Care Inspectorate since December 2008. I have been married to my husband,Graeme, since 1998 and we have two beautiful children, a son and a daughter born February, 2001 and October, 2006 respectively. We also have a dog called Ada. She is a black Labrador and her dob is 18.06.22.

I am a member of the Scottish Childmining Association (SCMA) with whom I am fully insured.

My Service received an Unannounced Inspection by the Care Inspectorate in May 2024. The full report is available to view via the Care Inspectorate website. My service was grade 5 being a very good.

My Experience

As mentioned above I have been a registered childminder since December 2008. I am registered to care for six children. As both of my own children are over the age of 16 years they are no longer included in the number of children I can care for at any one time.

I offer a home from home environment with a variety of activities. Fresh fruit, snacks, water, milk & juice is included with the service I offer but I would ask that you provide a packed lunch for your child(ren). I am not registered to provide/prepare hot food but am happy to provide sandwiches, cheese, crackers etc…should you wish. The children in my care can also chose from a variety of activities to include arts and crafts, dressing up, board games, puzzles etc... and I encourage outdoor play as often as the weather permits. My home offers a reasonable sized garden which is securely enclosed by a six foot fence and lockable gate. I have a selection of outdoor toys to keep the children entertained. In addition to activities I have all the children’s tv channels on Sky and Netflix, a selection of books and jigsaws suitable for all ages.

My main aim is to ensure your child feels welcome and safe in my home and looks forward to and feels comfortable spending time with me, my family and the other children I care for.

St. Hilary's Nursery & School
Jack and Jill Pre 5's

My daughter has been with Francisca since she was 4 months old, she is now four and it’s just like visiting an auntie’s home. Great range of activities on offer and lovely home and garden surroundings. Francisca always keeps me up to date with my daughters own Facebook profile. Highly recommend

Both of my children love it here.

5 stars

My eldest started with francisca last year. I was worried as was new to the area and i didnt know hhw well my girl would settle. She was very accomodating of the fact that i was in an 8 week training course for my work and may not be long term. As it turned out, I had a need for childcare beyond that and was happy that my daughter was settled. She sees Francisca almost as an aunty now. Both of my children now go to francisca for a few hours every day (boy 5 and girl 9). They get on well with her, Graham and the children.
Francesca is firm but fair. The kids have rules which is exactly what I want. She is never harsh or unfair. Highly recommend.
